random crap I do in my term

/dev/shm is great for that. :) Automatically cleans up regardless of distribution.

I am afraid you are misunderstanding me.

There is no way to control who you are attracted to. You control do fully control what you act on.

You could avoid looking at "supermodels". Maybe that will help.

If you want to date supermodels, then improve yourself enough they want to date you. If that is not possible, then consider getting professional psychiatric help for this "supermodel" thing.

Regular people should improve themselves. That is all they can do.

Improve yourself.

It is a great book. Lots of bear attack history.

Contractors don't fix things as much as charge for what we are contracted for. I might fix things, but I am able to fix far less than when I was a direct hire. The issue gets worse the more contractors there are, both individuals and companies. Shit hiring company policies make this worse. The structure of many companies is the cause of company problems.

If I interpreted this comment correctly, this is as designed and intentional. ISPs only route to the neighbors that advertise a possible path to the actual endpoint.

Strong encryption is critical.

They better do it. Might get invaded.

Mainly, I’m wondering if I should migrate /home/ to my RAID array, or leave /home/ where it is and create a new directory on the RAID array.

Leave home where it is. Symlink to important directories on RAID.

Makes it easier to mess with the RAID if it doesn't make logging in hard.

Take the money from other rich people. Possibly with an army of disposable humans.

Last Thursday, the medical colossus UnitedHealthcare applied for an emergency exemption that would fast-track its takeover of a medical practice in Corvallis, Oregon, in a letter warning regulators that the practice might close its doors if the merger were not approved right away.

Pretty sure I will be asking a lawyer, but I want to learn more words and concepts first.

A possible new job wants to own any intellectual property I create and wants me to declare anything I want to keep as my own. This seems normal in my industry as they will be paying me to do some thinking.

Issue is that I have a number of ideas I have been developing. I am going to float some of them as products in my own time, though this may be years from now. Most of these are outside the current market for the company as far as I know.

How is this typically handled? I presume I don't need to have copyrights or trademarks prior and can just list tentative titles.

I am also a little unclear on the spread between "intellectual property" and "an idea I am playing with".

Thoughts? Concepts to investigate?

Edit: I did Internet search this, but I have not found working keywords.

Article from 1999, referenced study likely from earlier.

The average American walks less than 75 miles a year - about 1.4 miles a week, barely 350 yards a day.

Thank you to @urlyman@mastodon.social for pointing this out.

"I don't know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don't, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop ... if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It's a study. We're not losers, are we?"

There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.

What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?

While looking for uses for old disposable AA batteries, I ran across the Batteriser from 2015. Clearly, it was a flop of some sort, as I am posting in 2024. What happened? Are there any iterations that do work?

Also, are there any uses for old batteries?
